My buildings have attributes

No sooner had Chen Mengyao finished speaking than Li Lili said, "How could that be? What could I possibly be thinking about? Nothing like that."

"Oh," Chen Mengyao replied to Li Lili calmly.

But at that moment, Li Lili asked again, "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing," Chen Mengyao said, shaking her head.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Li Lili continued to ask Chen Mengyao.

"Alright, alright, go to the bathroom now," Chen Mengyao quickly said to Li Lili.

A short while later, Li Lili came out...

"Come on, let's talk some more," Li Lili said with a smile.

However, Chen Mengyao, who was standing to the side, started thinking about how to change the subject for Li Lili.

"Alright, let's not try to change the subject anymore. Is there anything we can't talk about?" Li Lili knew Chen Mengyao very well. Seeing Chen Mengyao's blank stare, she knew what Chen Mengyao was thinking, so she said loudly to Chen Mengyao.

Chen Mengyao was a little surprised that her thoughts had been guessed. After hearing what Li Lili said, she subconsciously covered her mouth and then whispered to Li Lili, "Don't talk nonsense."

“I’m not making this up,” Li Lili quickly interjected.

However, Chen Mengyao also decisively said, "You're not just talking nonsense."

"Of course, I'm just concerned about you. I don't know what your emotional world is like right now. I want to help you, but I don't know where to start. It's sad and heartbreaking. I'm such a failure as your best friend."

Seeing Li Lili's exaggerated attitude, Chen Mengyao knew that Li Lili was using a self-inflicted injury ruse, but Chen Mengyao was willing to fall for it.

"Hey, let me tell you, nothing really happened between us today. I don't know why you're so unwilling to believe me. But there's something I want to tell you," Chen Mengyao said quietly to Li Lili.

"What's going on?" Li Lili asked Chen Mengyao curiously from the side.

However, at this moment, Chen Mengyao began to say, "I have some feelings for Liu Yuyang now. I admit that my opinion of him has changed somewhat."

"Ha, I knew it! Humph, you still won't tell me. I know you too well. I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at you, but you still won't tell me. Really!" At this moment, Li Lili loudly spoke to Chen Mengyao.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!" Chen Mengyao exclaimed excitedly to Li Lili upon seeing this. Chen Mengyao had intended to tell Li Lili this quietly so no one else would know, but Li Lili's reaction was like she was having an orgasm. She was speaking so loudly; how afraid was she of being overheard?

"Oh, oh." Li Lili, who had been watching Chen Mengyao make a "shh" gesture, finally lowered her voice.

"You're just stirring up trouble for everyone," Chen Mengyao said, looking at Li Lili.

"No way, I wouldn't dare. I was just a little excited. Okay, okay, I know. It's a secret, right? Sure, don't worry. I promise I won't let anyone else know except you and me. But of course, what you say doesn't count." Li Lili said to Chen Xiaoqi with a smile.

"Let's all have fun together. What's there to be afraid of?" Liu Yuyang said with a smile from inside the room.

Meanwhile, the private room was also very lively.

Chapter 505 The Ball is in Progress 1

Liu Yuyang was talking excitedly, and then, amidst the joy of their conversation, they drank wine and ate meat in large gulps.

Just then, Li Lili and Chen Mengyao, who had gone to the restroom, returned. Before they even entered the private room, their laughter could be heard from outside. When they came in, Li Lili said, "What are you talking about? Why are you having so much fun? We could hear you laughing and talking outside the door."

"Haha, of course we're talking about things outside of work. Otherwise, how could we be having such a pleasant conversation just about work?" Liu Yuyang replied to Li Lili.

So Li Lili, who was standing to the side, smiled and stopped talking. She was also at a loss after hearing what Liu Yuyang said.

“You’re absolutely right. That’s true.” After Li Lili sat down, she answered Liu Yuyang.

"Haha, yes, what else can we talk about? By the way, how was your meal?" Liu Yuyang answered Li Lili's question first, and then asked Li Lili in return.

"I'm done eating, how about you?" After hearing this, Li Lili first spoke to Liu Yuyang, and then turned to ask Chen Mengyao.

"Yes, I'm done eating too," Chen Mengyao nodded and said.

Just then, Li Lili said, "We've all finished eating. What's wrong? You've finished eating too?"

"Well, we've almost finished eating. Since you've all eaten, let's head upstairs to the dance." Just then, Liu Yuyang spoke up again.

"Okay." Chen Mengyao and Li Lili nodded at the same time and said to Liu Yuyang.

Then Liu Yuyang started sending a notification in the main group, saying, "After dinner, you can go upstairs to the dance party."

After Liu Yuyang finished sending the message, he saw the replies below, one after another saying "received." At this time, Liu Yuyang and his group also started to walk towards the dance party.

However, just as they stepped out of the private room, Chen Ling rushed over to support Li Lili and whispered in her ear, "Let me tell you, don't even think about participating in the dance later. The risk is too high, and I wouldn't dare let you take that risk." Chen Ling immediately saw through Li Lili's thoughts and quickly reminded her.

Just then, Li Lili looked up at Chen Ling with pitiful eyes, and then said in a wronged tone, "I'm wearing flat shoes, what are you worried about? There's no danger at all. You're overthinking it. It's not that serious. I won't jump much, just hop around for a little while, okay?" As Li Lili said these words to Chen Ling, she kept blinking at him and acting coquettishly.

"Alright, stop talking to me. No way. I'm doing this for your own good. You can't handle all this jumping around. If you can't stay there quietly, then let's not go. I'll take you back." Chen Ling turned to look at Li Lili and said firmly.

"No way! Look, everyone's already gone. It wouldn't be right for the two of us to just go back, would it? Let's go play for a bit, I'll go jump around for a little while, okay? Don't worry, I'll be extra careful." Just then, Li Lili continued speaking to Chen Ling.

However, Chen Ling's heart softened when he saw Li Lili's coquettish manner, but he still firmly said to her, "Okay, okay, stop bargaining with me. No way. When we get there, if you want to eat something, you can eat something, but don't even think about dancing. I won't let you go up and dance."

"Oh, don't be like that! I really want to jump for a while, please let me go and jump for a bit, okay?" Just then, Li Lili continued to speak.

However, Chen Ling, standing to the side, remained adamant and said to Li Lili, "Don't even think about it. It's impossible. The dance moves are so big, how could you possibly jump around like that? Okay, okay, there's no room for negotiation on this, so just forget about it."

Just then, Li Lili began to say, "Oh, oh, oh."

"This is it, let's go. Let's see what it's like inside." Liu Yuyang, who was standing to the side, said loudly with a laugh.

“Okay,” the others replied to Liu Yuyang.

Just then, Li Lili said again, "Let's go, let's go in and take a look." Li Lili's tone was full of joy.

However, upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling began to think, "This Ningxue is really impatient. But we really can't let her go dance; he wouldn't dare take that risk." As Chen Ling thought these words to himself, he shook his head helplessly.

However, at that moment, Liu Yuyang opened the door to the ballroom and then said to Chen Ling, "Boss, you can go in first."

“When we’re out and about, there’s no need to be so polite. After get off work, there aren’t so many rules. We’re all friends, so let’s just relax and have fun. We don’t need so many rules.” Chen Ling quickly said to Liu Yuyang after hearing what he said.

“We know what you’re saying, you always say that, but we’re used to it. It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Alright, alright, hurry up and go in, everyone’s waiting for you here,” Liu Yuyang added.

So Chen Ling didn't say anything more, but helped Li Lili walk inside.

"Wow...this is so beautiful!" Li Lili exclaimed as soon as she entered.

"Yes, the arrangement is indeed quite good." Chen Ling also praised the arrangement.

The dance venue they entered had a pure white theme, giving it a dreamy feel. There was a large stage and some musical instruments placed around. In short, it was very nice.

Chapter 506 The Ball is in Progress 2

Chen Ling is someone who is extremely particular about interior design, but he was quite satisfied with the venue today. So, he started turning around and looking around.

Li Lili, who was standing nearby, was very perceptive. After seeing that Chen Ling was quite satisfied with the place, she quickly took advantage of Chen Ling's good mood and said to him, "Let's dance together."

"Oh." Chen Ling's tone immediately softened after hearing what Li Lili said.

Then Chen Ling turned to Li Lili and said, "Don't think about it anymore. I already told you, it's impossible. There's no need for you to worry about it. Eat something later."

"Don't be so old-fashioned," Li Lili said to Chen Ling.

So Chen Ling, standing to the side, was at a loss for words when Li Lili called her old-fashioned. She then turned to Li Lili and said, "Ningxue, this time it really isn't that I'm old-fashioned. It's for your safety. Think about it, what if you fall or something happens? I'd be heartbroken, and how would I explain it to our family? You understand, right?"

"Hey, you're overthinking this. How do you know something's going to happen? Didn't I already tell you? We won't do any difficult moves, just a simple dance for a while. It's not appropriate for us to stand here when the dancing starts, is it? Or you could go dance with them and leave me here, that wouldn't be right either. So, it's really fine for us to go dance with them for a bit. Besides, I told you, you're the one dancing with me, so you're in control of our steps, right? You'll definitely protect me, you won't let me get hurt, right?" Li Lili began to gently persuade Chen Ling, trying to reason with him.

Just as Chen Ling was about to speak after listening to what Li Lili had said, he heard Li Lili say again, "Look, I'm wearing flat shoes. I'm not so fussy that I'd fall down after taking a couple of steps."

After Li Lili finished speaking, she raised her foot slightly, shook Chen Ling's hand, and began to show Chen Ling what she was doing.

So Chen Ling was left feeling helpless by Li Lili's actions and had no choice but to agree to Li Lili's terms.

"Alright, let's rest for a bit first, then eat something before we go back and jump for another five minutes, okay?" Chen Ling said, conceding to Li Lili.

"Okay, sure," Li Lili quickly replied with a smile. She was thinking that once the dancing started, the duration wouldn't be up to Chen Ling. However, if it really was only five minutes, she wouldn't mind; that would be fine too.

Then Liu Yuyang walked to the center of the stage and said, "I've already told them that the sound engineer will be in place soon, and then we'll start the dance party. Before that, please enjoy the fruit and cakes here, and there's also red wine over there. Let's have some fun for a while."

"Okay, okay." The people below began clapping in response to Liu Yuyang's words.

But at that moment, Chen Ling lowered his head and said gently to Li Lili, "Let's go, let's go get some fruit. Is that alright?"

"Sure," Li Lili quickly agreed to Chen Ling's request. She was already more than satisfied that Chen Ling had agreed to let her dance. Since he had given her everything she wanted, she was naturally in a great mood.

"Here you go, Nu, your favorite oranges." Chen Ling walked to the fruit table, picked up an orange from the plate, and handed it to Li Lili, then said gently.

"Mmm." Li Lili nodded quickly with a smile.

"Oh my, I'm so envious!" Liu Yuyang, who happened to be passing by, said to them with a sour tone.

However, after hearing what Liu Yuyang said, Chen Ling immediately replied, "Then you should go and try to win over your beauty. I hope that one day you can be like me. Go quickly."

As Chen Ling spoke, he turned to look at Chen Mengyao.

Then Liu Yuyang quickly smiled at Chen Ling and Li Lili and said, "Haha, I also hope that day will come, but I don't know when it will arrive. Never mind, I'm not going to waste my time watching you two show off your love. I'm going to go find my girlfriend."

After Liu Yuyang finished speaking, he prepared to stride over. However, at that moment, Li Lili immediately said to Liu Yuyang, "Liu Yuyang, I have some good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"

"Okay, tell me quickly." Upon hearing this, Liu Yuyang immediately turned around and excitedly began to speak to Li Lili. It was clear that Liu Yuyang was very sensitive to the good news Li Lili was talking about, because he had a premonition that the good news Li Lili was talking about must be related to Chen Mengyao.

"Chen Mengyao just told me that he has feelings for you now. Hey, please don't rush to tell her, or she'll skin me alive. Just pretend you don't know anything for now, and continue as usual. Just keep it to yourself, okay?" Li Lili said very softly to Liu Yuyang, afraid someone might overhear, because she had promised Chen Mengyao she wouldn't tell anyone.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I know what to do." Upon hearing this, Liu Yuyang immediately spoke to Li Lili in a serious tone.

Then Li Lili continued, "Just keep treating her well. It's hard for a woman to resist a man who treats her well, especially someone like you, right?"

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will," Liu Yuyang continued.

"We've all noticed your recent changes, and we believe in you. Keep it up!" Chen Ling said to Liu Yuyang from the side.

Then they saw Liu Yuyang nod firmly at them, and then continue, "Then I'll go over there."

After Liu Yuyang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Chapter 507 The Ball is in Progress 3

Then, Liu Yuyang confidently started walking towards Chen Mengyao.

"You can tell from Liu Yuyang's gait that he's feeling pretty high and mighty right now." Just then, Chen Ling said to Li Lili.

At this moment, Li Lili was also looking at Liu Yuyang. After hearing what Chen Ling said, she couldn't help but laugh. Then she said to Chen Ling, "Haha, you're absolutely right. This is indeed happy news. When I heard Chen Mengyao say it, I was so happy and excited. Let alone Liu Yuyang, who is the person involved. He must be even more excited than me."

“Hmm, you’ve said a lot. Okay, let’s not talk about him anymore. Have some more fruit,” Chen Ling said again.

Then Li Lili nodded and started eating the fruit on the table, while Chen Ling next to her did the same, picking up fruit and eating it as well.

However, the other colleagues were doing all sorts of things: some were playing on their phones, some were eating, and some were sipping red wine.
